It's a trap!

Party gathered up the remaining eggs from the laboratory on Grippli island

The remaining eggs hatch, producing one normal grippli, one SLIGHTLY more humanoid grippli, one giant tadpole, and one pile of goop in total

Aevric, Farandol, and Omawnak accept the title of Knight from King Seamoss in gratitude for dealing with the problems on Grippli island Got spiffy lily pad medals

After that the party gathers their loot and heads back to the colony

Upon returning to the colony, they deal with some personal matters, and are eventually approached by the cloaked woman who previously warned them of an impending ambush

She informed them of an outpost that members of the Dark Blades were using, and told the party they could find the Drow there

The party set out, and found a cave the Dark Blades had been using on the island to the south

At the island the party sneaks into the cave, and effortlessly kills some goblins that they find sleeping and drinking

Shortly after a better armed group of Dark Blades surprised them and tried to kill them

The party was able to defeat the ambushing force, and capture the drow Sturm

They then learned that the Dark Blades were hired by the Korvosan government to destabilize the colony so a takeover would be easier, and “more legal”

Furthermore they learned that an asshole of wizard is part of the group, who currently is studying ruins a week to the south.

The party brought Sturm back to the colony and turned him over to the Captain

After that they were asked to head north to Grey Fang territory to request diplomatic talks.and following that accompany a flying ship on a scouting tour inland.-with a detour to the ruins to killthat fucking wizard-

The party set out, met the chief of the Grey Fangs who are Elves , Mohe who is a tree , and started the process of beginning trade negotiations
